Abstrakt: The glabella is a median elevation between two superciliary arches. Glabella is present just above the nasion- an intersection of internasal and frontonasal suture. The skin covering the glabella is known as glabellar skin, which is also the source of redundant thick skin commonly used for reconstruction of the upper nasal dorsum and medial canthal area.[1]  Historically, the use of glabellar skin was first described by Carl Von Graefe in his manuscript devoted to rhinoplasty, "Rhinoplastik." Glabellar skin is the area nowadays treated with botox for aesthetic purposes.[2]
